I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 162: Super Storm Lost Contact

Hao Xiaoxi rushed forward to save people subconsciously.

But before the man could get close, the piece of concrete broke into Zhou Zhezhi's head.

Click!

The sound of floor tiles breaking could be heard as a pair of old arms firmly held up several hundred kilograms of falling objects.

Several cracks appeared on the arm, and sparks flashed inside.

Hao Xiaoxi was stunned, watching Zhou Zhezhi raise his hands above his head to firmly hold up the falling debris.

The heavy and huge fragments formed a sharp contrast with his old and thin body. This scene was extremely shocking.

"Teacher Zhou, when did you undergo mechanical transformation?"

Hao Xiaoxi asked in surprise. She didn't know that Zhou Zhezhi had been mechanically modified.

Zhou Zhezhi laughed, put the broken pieces easily on the ground, and looked at the damaged mechanical arm.

"When you get old and your body is no longer useful, of course you need to replace some parts."

"Xiaoxi, as leaders, if we want the people to trust us, we must set an example and serve as role models."

"Only in this way will the people support us and follow us."

"Don't you think this new technology is great? It played a huge role at the critical moment."

"Let's go see what happened first."

Zhou Zhezhi took Hao Xiaoxi to the Global Communications Center to check the situation. After summarizing information from all sides, everyone soon figured out what had just happened.

Then they immediately became serious.

The situation is terrible.

Just about thirty minutes ago, the sun experienced an unprecedentedly violent solar storm eruption, reaching an unprecedented intensity of 22.

The extremely strong radiation shock wave instantly paralyzed all smart devices on the surface of the earth.

The quantum chips that smart devices rely on are less resistant to radiation than traditional electronic chips. The damage caused by a G10-level solar storm has exceeded the radiation resistance threshold of most electronic devices on Earth.

The underground facilities are still okay, but the ground facilities, especially the intelligent facilities on the Global Star Ring, have basically been paralyzed.

The global planetary engine has shut down due to a safety mechanism and it will take at least a day to restart.

"Moss, report global damage."

[System failure...AI is offline...]

Even the global artificial intelligence has come to a standstill... The decision-makers at the United Government headquarters suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"This solar storm is too severe. We are temporarily unable to restore communication with the outer space fleet!"

"How long will it take to restore communications?"

"It's impossible to be sure. It will take at least 14 hours for the Earth's communication system to be repaired, and at least 26 hours for the electromagnetic storm in outer space to weaken to the point where communication is possible!"

"Moreover, the communication system of the Yugong III transport spacecraft, which has been exposed to the outer space environment, is very likely to be completely burned out, and the time it takes to repair it is impossible to estimate!"

Even though half of the Earth has already run away, the solar storm still has the destructive power of G10 level when it reaches here.

The Moth Project fleet, which is only 1500 million kilometers away from the sun, may have suffered damage from the solar storm at level G12 or even G13. With the limited protection of the spacecraft itself, it is absolutely unable to withstand such strong radiation.

You should know that this is not just electromagnetic radiation, it is also accompanied by powerful gamma rays and contains deadly nuclear radiation!

Not to mention repairing the spacecraft, it is unknown whether the crew inside can survive!

"Damn it! Why at this time!"

At the headquarters of the coalition government, decision makers in the conference room were in a frenzy of impotence.

"There is no time to regret, the rescue plan must be implemented immediately!"

Zhou Zhezhi was still the calmest person. He said without question: "The world must immediately implement a saturation rescue! Make sure the Earth enters the Jupiter shelter in time. The Moth Plan must be executed on time!"

The ruling power of the coalition government quickly rallied, and everyone realized that at this critical moment, the Earth civilization had no choice but to fight its way out of the crisis.

"The planetary engine rescue team will be dispatched immediately. We must complete the global engine re-ignition as quickly as possible!"

"Send out all digital facility maintenance personnel to repair the global intelligent control network within four hours. This is a death order!"

"Communications Department, no matter what method you use, I want you to restore communications with the space fleet within 24 hours!"

"Notify the Star Ring Spaceport and dispatch all spacecraft that can still take off to the fusion controller to build a communication bridge and report back to me the fleet's situation as quickly as possible!"

"The personnel left behind on Earth are reinforcing the shelter and overhauling the shelter system to ensure that the shelter is absolutely safe!"

Orders were urgently transmitted from the United Government Command Center to various departments and all over the world.

At that time, more than 300 billion human beings on Earth were collectively mobilized. No one stood idly by in the face of this disaster that affected the entire civilization. All of humanity formed a huge collective with unprecedented unity and tried their best to fight the crisis.

Solar fusion controller track.

Among the 30 million space transport ships, almost all of them were wailing.

"Lao Liu, Lao Liu, wake up!"

"Damn it! His chip is burned! Hurry up and replace his quantum chip!"

"Xiao Zhao is dying, give him an injection of anti-radiation!"

There were sparks flying everywhere in the spacecraft, and even a fire broke out. The crew members were staggering, and many of them were lying on the ground, their lives or deaths unknown.

Those who were still alive endured the pain and tried to save themselves, save others and put out the fire.

The solar storm radiation, which was as high as G13 level, instantly destroyed most of the electronic equipment on the spacecraft.

The deadly particle flow even penetrated the thick spacecraft barrier and bombarded the crew.

If the crew members had not prepared in advance and put on protective clothing for use in outer space activities to give themselves an extra layer of protection, they would probably have died as a group.

Even with an extra layer of protection, it cannot completely resist the excessively strong radiation. The residual radiation is enough to instantly burn the intelligent quantum chips on the mechanically modified crew members.

Especially those modified humans who adopted the digital life plan and even replaced their brains with CPUs, they became brain dead on the spot and could not be saved at all.

For those that have not been completely modified, their mechanical bodies have been scrapped to varying degrees, most of them have lost their ability to move and require in-depth repairs.

Even the crew members who had not undergone modification suffered serious damage to their bodies due to the instantaneous excessive radiation, and suffered from nausea, vomiting, dizziness, tinnitus, nosebleeds, general weakness and typical symptoms of radiation sickness.

The crew members who are in the best condition are those who have undergone biochemical and mechanical hybrid transformation.

Biochemical transformation has improved their body's ability to resist radiation. They have adopted more "classical" mechanical transformation, using old-style electronic chips with better radiation resistance, so the mechanical properties have been better preserved.

These passengers were the first to react and became the main force in first aid.

"Chen Dong's symptoms are serious. Give him an injection of 300CC of anti-radiation!"

"Liang Feifan, if you're still alive, hurry up and go to the cargo hold to get the spare quantum chip and replace it with Lao Zhao and the others!"

"Zhang Ga, what the hell are you standing there for? Put on your firefighting power armor and go to the transport area to put out the fire!"

"If the hydrogen cargo tank explodes, we'll all go to heaven!"

The captains and veteran crew members on each spaceship transformed into grumpy old men, their roars audible throughout the entire ship, and they efficiently directed the survivors to carry out first aid operations using primitive methods.

Finally, after a thrilling rescue operation, the danger on the spacecraft was put out and most of the crew members were rescued.

Those who are unfortunate enough to become space debris in the explosion, or who cannot be rescued, can only blame themselves for their bad luck.

It is God's will, and everyone has his own destiny. When disaster strikes, the survivors have no time to grieve!
